"Lovely teachers and beautiful facilities"

As a parent, I'm so grateful for the inclusive and supportive environment at Palm Bay Primary. The teachers are genuinely invested in our children's growth, and the Forest School is just amazing! My child loves the beach trips and the kindness they're taught to show others.

"Some positives, but some room for improvement"

We moved away, but our child still attends Palm Bay Primary. While the teachers are mostly lovely, I've noticed that sometimes the workload can be overwhelming for the kids. Additionally, the communication from the school could be better. Still, the school's commitment to inclusivity and the beach trips are definite highlights!
